Hopefully it'll be as good as Z then, because Z was some drat good One Piece. Probably my second favourite movie after Baron Omatsuri, which is very different from normal One Piece yet super good.

Have not watched ANY of the movies except Strong World since I kind of stopped on the anime(might get back on that horse at some point), but that one in specific I like the least. Everything about it just doesn't feel like One Piece on top of being creepy as gently caress and having some weird character models.

Speaking of movies, when should I watch some of them? I know nothing about them other than there's a lot of them, and would have no idea when one would be safe to watch without fear of spoilers.

Nothing aside from crewmates and abilities. They're pretty much entirely standalone. Though Gold has a couple cameos that might count as very minor spoilers.

Just check the release dates of the movies and whatever was the most recent volume released at that time and you shouldn't go wrong.

This. I've not watched any of them since they sound a bit spotty at times in terms of quality, but Strong World is 100% Unfiltered Awesome.

The only "spoiler" from the movies that'd count as something big is that Z is the guy who trained most of the current and former top brass in the Marines (e.g., Garp and Sengoku). And that one is kind of pushing it.

As for Codfish, the only movie that's really skippable is the 8th movie, which is basically "Alabasta's finale with better animation, but with about 60% of the finale's content cut out". It is definitely in the "watch it if you have nothing else to watch" category.

First of all, if you haven't watched film 6, Baron Omatsuri, then you are doing One Piece wrong and need to go and fix that. Second, with the exception of movies 8&9, the only spoilers in the movies are crew members and character designs. 10 is a slight exception as it reveals minor details pertaining to the time skip.

Movie 1 is basically a meh filler episode stretched out to two episode length. The crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp.

Movie 2 is basically a bad filler episode stretched out to two episode length. Oh, hey, Nami gets kidnapped by the bad guys, The Trump Siblings. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji.

Movie 3 is Chopper talks to animals and is basically a meh filler episode stretched out to two episode length. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper.

Movie 4 is actually feature film length and fun. Notably has a competent Bounty Hunter and is a pirate race movie. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin.

Movie 5 is feature length and not fun. Possibly the most boring and dumb plot possible based on Zoro being the focus of the movie. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin.

Movie 6 is awesome, the best of the movies and the one that does it's own thing. Why haven't you watched this yet? The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin.

Movie 7 sucks and makes a the idea of a giant mech using a giant turtle to form the body of it's world conquest combination bad. Personally my least favorite. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin.

Movies 8 and 9 are "recapping" Drum Island and Alabasta. Only with Franky and Robin inexplicably being part of the crew for Drum Island and are meh. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Franky.

Movie 10 is the first one Oda had a larger role in. It's Ok to good but includes some real good parts. Also a clown, so curve that grade according to your phobias. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Franky.

Movie 11 is 3D animated and I don't remember anything about it really other than it's One Piece game cut scenes the movie. The Crew is Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Franky.

Movie 12 is also Oda inspired. Most notable for the anime filler tie in where we are introduced to Alpacino, a bazooka that ate the llama fruit. I don't care what you think about anything else, watch the anime filler for that. The Crew is everyone but the member who most recently joined.

Movie 13 is the most recent one. I disliked it, other people liked it. The crew hits up a Casino Island. The Crew is everyone but the member who most recently joined.

  • For sure watch: 4, 6, 12's anime tie in.
  • Totally an OK way to kill some time: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12
  • Maybe you'll like it: 8, 9, 13
  • Dead to me: 2, 5, 7

Edited because I forgot to list Sanji in most of the movies.

To actually answer your question, Strong World comes after the Thriller Bark Arc, and Film Z is best after Chapter 600. Also, you probably shouldn't watch GOLD until after chapter 800.

Yeah, I was trying to not make anyone have boring adventures as much as possible.

Though in making the list of the crew it does beg the question, did Nami not technically join the crew until after Sanji? Also, is Usopp technically a junior crew member to both Robin and Franky?

Nami hung around from early on, but yeah, she wasn't officially part of the crew until after Usopp joined.

And I don't really think Luffy bothers with ranks, all his crew members are equally his friends.

Appearance wise she actually predates Zoro (she was stealing from the same ship that Luffy was initially discovered on) but while she started traveling with the group before Sanji showed up she didn't technically officially join the crew until Arlong Park (kind of like how Robin started travelling with the crew after Alabasta but didn't officially become a full-fledged member until Enies Lobby).

Nami stealing from Alvida's ship is anime only, so its canon is questionable unless Oda's talked about that at some point.

Oh ok, I started with the anime and then switched over to the manga later on so I wasn't aware that part was anime-exclusive. Good to know.

I second Baron Omatsuri as an absolute must-watch, that movie is amazing. Between the absolutely beautiful Hosoda art, a plot that feels very much not One Piece while still fitting perfectly in One Piece (don't ask me to explain this, I'm trying and failing to explain it to myself, it just feels that way), and mixing humour with heavy drama seamlessly, it's basically a masterpiece of filler movies (low bar, I know) and I'm glad someone that actually watched the anime pushed me to watch it.

Strong World is very good too. Oda's influence is felt in it pretty heavily, which is obviously only a good thing. The villain is pretty forgettable though, and that does affect the movie, but beyond that it's a really fun trip that wouldn't be out of place in the manga at all.

Z feels like the opposite of Strong World to me. The villain is extremely solid, and would easily rank in a best character list if this wasn't One Piece where everyone is the best character, though the plot feels more segmented at times, as if the movie was meant to be longer. Nonetheless it's really good, and I enjoyed it more than Strong World personally.

Film Gold...happened. It's utterly okay. I don't regret watching it but at the same time I wouldn't feel I missed anything if I hadn't. I'm surprised Oda was involved because it's extremely weak for his usual level.

I can't talk about any other movie because those are the only ones I watched, but they were mostly good!

Luffy doesn't, but it's very important to fan speculation and to Zoro(he's #1 in all rankings that he acknowledges). Also I'm pretty sure there's a running chapter naming convention of "# Member of the Strawhat Crew" as well as "[Crewmate]["job title"] of the Strawhats".

Zoro is considered the first mate by the WG and others and does kinda function in that role, though it's not official. The crew has roles, and Nami tends to be more or less in charge on the ship mostly because while the captain may choose the destination, the navigator is the one who actually gets you there and thus must be listened to.

The Straw Hats don't have much of a traditional chain of command, the crew's too small for that, but also close-knit and respectful enough of each others' abilities that they tend to function pretty well in a pinch. Oda does occasionally mention in SBS and notes how the crew functions during voyages, with everybody pitching in for the various tasks and chores required on the ship (Nami probably the one who sets the rota) and spending their downtime variously training, fishing, reading, and otherwise passing the time.

Funny thing is it came up in another thread that apparently real life pirates of old (and probably sailors in general) did indeed have various forms of popular entertainment to pass the time on long voyages, including songs and amateur dramatics, both scripted and improv theatre. Apparently one of the most popular acts among pirates was holding mock trials for their various crimes.

also the anime tie in for 12 is dire outside of Alpacino, like, even for One Piece filler it's real, real bad

also also the animation in movie 8 is worse than the TV's anime's animation for the exact same scenes, and even worse for the new stuff, like seriously, side by side it's shocking the TV show is so much better animated
